Ethernet patch cable Accura UTP Cat5e 15.0 m gray

Accura UTP Cat5e Ethernet patch cable, 15.0 m in gray, is a flexible unshielded twisted pair network cable designed for typical home and office network connections. The cable supports 100BASE-TX and is suitable for short-run Gigabit Ethernet links, providing a reliable physical connection between routers, switches, computers and other network devices. A PVC jacket and molded RJ45 connectors deliver mechanical protection and ease of installation while maintaining stable signal transmission for everyday data and Internet use.

Advantages

The cable combines a Category 5e specification with a 15.0 m length to cover medium-distance patching needs without requiring repeaters. Its unshielded design ensures compatibility with standard Ethernet equipment and reduces cost compared with shielded variants where shielding is unnecessary. The flexible PVC jacket allows easy routing through cable channels and behind furniture, and molded connector ends reduce strain at the termination points for improved durability and reduced connection failures.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers and switches in home and small office networks
• Linking desktop computers to network outlets or patch panels
• Temporary or permanent patching between network devices in server rooms or wiring closets (short runs)
• VoIP phones, IP cameras and other PoE devices when used within Cat5e power delivery limits

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 15.0 m
• Conductor arrangement: 4 twisted pairs
• Jacket material: PVC (flexible)
• Connector type: RJ45 molded plugs
• Supported protocols: 100BASE-TX and suitable for short-run Gigabit Ethernet
• Color: gray

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of your router, switch or wall outlet and the other connector into the Ethernet port of your computer or network device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable; route it through cable channels or along baseboards where possible to minimize mechanical stress. Test the connection using device network status indicators or network diagnostics to confirm link speed and stability.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable length within recommended limits for Ethernet standards and avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to reduce interference. Use this Cat5e cable for general data and Internet connections; if you require consistently full Gigabit speeds over longer distances or environments with higher electromagnetic interference, consider higher-category or shielded cabling.
